The sects which seems to be desperate due to the loss they have suffered over the weeks, lost about 100 men in the attack as troops successfully repelled their plans, inflicting heavy casualty on the invading terrorists.
The Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Col Sani Usman, in a statement said “7 of our gallant soldiers paid the supreme price defending our fatherland, while 1 officer and 8 soldiers were wounded in action.
“The troops recovered size-able arms, ammunition and other equipment from the terrorists,which include 1 General Purpose Machine Gun, 2 Rocket Propelled Grenades, 9 AK-47 rifles and Belted rounds of 7.62 (NATO) ammunition. Others were various wires used for Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), 7 Primed IEDs, different types of Spanners and a Torch Light.
In a related development, troops of 21 Brigade on patrol from Bama to Ngurosoye, destroyed the terrorists camps in the axis.
Troops came across some of the terrorists hideouts that also served as fabricating area for IEDs and the terrorists’ training area. Another patrol along Bama-Kawuri axis discovered and exhumed IEDs and wires for detonation.
